Reese’s vending machine swaps lame candy for Peanut Butter Cups
You just can’t top peanut butter and chocolate — especially on Halloween — and thanks to Reese’s new candy converter, you’re guaranteed to score your favorite candy combo this year.
That’s right, no more unloading your trick-or-treat rejects on your little brother.
Don’t try to deny it: A survey commissioned by Reese’s found that 90 percent of Americans have traded — or wish they could trade — their unwanted candy on Halloween, Anna Lingeris, a spokeswoman for Reese’s distributor Hershey, tells CNN.
“As the No. 1 Halloween candy (with over half of candy buyers purchasing Reese’s), Reese’s has come up with a solution,” Lingeris said. “Give us your unwanted candy, and we’ll give you what you actually want — Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.”
The marketing geniuses behind the famed PB & C concoction first unveiled the massive orange vending machine at a Halloween party in Westchester, delighting baffled onlookers who deposited weak candy for the hard stuff in the little orange wrapping.
No tricks here. Trade in your Halloween candy for Reese's candy. What'd you expect from the GOAT of Halloween?! #ReesesCandyConverter #NotSorry pic.twitter.com/bTrjF2IFay

From 4 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, the Candy Exchange Vending Machine will service New Yorkers in Washington Square Park by exchanging 10,000 Reese’s.
But don’t despair if you’re outside the exchange territory: A Reese’s rep says, “Stay tuned for Halloween 2019.”
God bless Halloween — unless, of course, you have a peanut allergy.
